Short answer

Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7 every year -- a federal date that doesn't change by state -- with new coverage starting January 1. Florida Medicare reviews should also account for Florida-specific resources: Florida Medicaid is run by the Agency for Health Care Administration (not a separate marketplace), and free, unbiased counseling is available through Florida SHINE.

Use this before you call.

Call GetFastRates.com for free help reviewing your Florida Medicare options before December 7.

Confirm your current plan type: Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, or Original Medicare with Part D.

List your Florida doctors, clinics, and pharmacies, since network and formulary details can change year to year.

Gather your current prescriptions, dosages, and refill frequency.

Note any Florida Medicaid changes if you have both Medicare and Medicaid, since AHCA (not the Marketplace) handles Florida Medicaid eligibility.

Call before December 7 if you want a change to take effect January 1 -- after that date you may need to wait for the next enrollment window.

Annual Enrollment is federal, not Florida-specific

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 - December 7) is set at the federal level and is the same nationwide, including in Florida. What is Florida-specific is which plans and networks are available in your county, and which state resources can help if something changes.

Florida resources worth knowing about

Florida Medicaid is administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), separate from the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period. Florida also has a free, unbiased Medicare counseling program, SHINE, which is independent of any insurance company and separate from GetFastRates' own free phone help.

  • Florida Medicaid: Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
  • Free Medicare counseling: Florida SHINE, 1-800-963-5337
  • Florida ACA marketplace: federal HealthCare.gov (Florida does not run its own exchange)

Common questions about this topic

Does the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period change by state?

No. October 15 through December 7 is a federal date that applies the same way in Florida as everywhere else. What can vary by state and county is plan and network availability.

Who do I contact if my Florida Medicaid coverage changed?

Florida Medicaid eligibility is decided by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), not by GetFastRates.com or the federal Marketplace. A free call can still help you understand what to do next if you also have Medicare questions.
